Maurice LeNoblet Duplessis, the Premier of Quebec, scorned the taking of bids on public works as "disguised hypocrisy," and bestowed stretches of highway to qualified areas (i.e., they voted right) in the fashion of a feudal lord. He set elections for Wednesdays, day of devotion to St. Joseph, his patron saint, and went faithfully to 6 a.m. Mass at the Quebec City Roman Catholic basilica, while his bodyguard, a Protestant, waited impassively in the rear of the church.

Overall, he has a record of only 8-4. But with Koufax now at his blinding best (31 strike-outs -in his last two games) and crossfiring Don Drysdale leading the league in strikeouts (207), the second-place Dodgers have the fastest staff in the majors as they settle down for the September stretch fight with the Giants. To prove the point...
